First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence live
Then, the crack in his voice live
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health live
That is, until now live
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior live
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little live
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable live
But soon may be too soon live
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago live
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi live
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began live
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that live
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes live
live
live
Sorry, um live
live
live
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it live
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp live
live
live
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room live

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up live
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it live
I had to take it live
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be live
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in live
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family live
But, I don’t know live
live
live
I think you just need to keep busy live
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in live
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it live
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand live
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife live
My wife could see it does get hard, I don’t know why live
”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training live
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer live
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight live
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession live
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted live
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable live
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring live
It must live
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January live
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him live
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave live
That is even clearer now than it was last week live
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it live
